What drives antimicrobial prescribing for companion animals? A mixed-methods study of UK veterinary clinics
Antimicrobial use in companion animals is a largely overlooked contributor to the complex problem of antimicrobial resistance. Humans and companion animals share living spaces and some classes of antimicrobials, including those categorised as Highest Priority Critically Important Antimicrobials (HPCIAs). Veterinary guidelines recommend that these agents are not used as routine first line treatment and their frequent deployment could offer a surrogate measure of âinappropriateâ antimicrobial use. Anthropological methods provide a complementary means to understand how medicines use makes sense âon-the-groundâ and situated in the broader social context

Electronic Portfolios Enhanced with Learning Analytics at the Workplace
This chapter shows the development of an ePortfolio environment enhanced with learning analytics, to be used at the workplace in medical, veterinary, and teacher education. Evaluation took place by means of a quasi-experimental design regarding the impact of this environment on traineesâ motivation, their assessment experience, and their use. Data gathered in four institutes for medical, veterinary, and teacher education (n = 217) showed that trainees were highly motivated for their internships and positively evaluated the perceived feedback. The use of learning analytics features varied. In general visual feedback by means of a timeline of traineesâ progress was mostly used, while trainees barely used the features with written feedback. It is concluded that the promise of learning analytics connected to ePortfolios can only be fulfilled when developed and implemented through the eyes of the users
